Many confuse low pressure with low flow rates.
Most likely your pressure is fine but the flow voluum from the faucets is low due to the flow restrictors every new faucet has in the aerator. I have removed mine and flow rate is much better.
Just be aware that more flow results in holding tanks filling faster.

If it's not the water filter clogged up then what you probably need is an adjustable pressure regulator like the ones sold on line at The Water Filter Store that flow more volume than the elcheapo type of regulators that the RV dealerships and Walmart sell.http://www.rvwaterfilterstore.com/PressureRegulators.htm

The Watts Adjustable 263A Regulator, 2" diameter 0-160 gauge, 4-4.5 gpm is the one I have. The Watts Model N55BG Adjustable Regulator, 1.5" diameter 0-160 gauge, 6-9 gpm is another one that's a little more expensive that is a good one.

You don't need much more pressure you just need more volume. I have mine set at 49 PSI and I'm getting plenty of water.

You also want to make sure that your water hose is not kinked or restricting the flow somehow to.

Thanks...... the hose isn't kinked, and the water filter is actually a home filter that i adapted over with hose fittings... I've tried it without the filter and got the same low pressure results and the outside pressure was at the water source was high. I wondered if 45 psi was just too low.... its a 2010 model, where would I find the recommended psi limit for the camper? And your right, it is a cheapo regulator from an rv store.

Some kind of regulator should be used whether it's the 45 psi model or what ever. Some campgrounds have very high water pressure that can blow you're pipes out without one.

I visited a campground on Center Hill Lake in Tennessee this past winter and they had signs up warning about high water pressure. The campground was located very near a water tower and there must not have been any type of regulator on the thing. One of the Core of Engineer's employee's said he's seen a lot of people that ignore the signs and then they'll have water running out of their trailer doors in a very short while due to pipes being blown apart.

It MIGHT be too low depending on what water pressure your trailer is DESIGNED to handle. Most older units were set for a maximum of 40 PSI but newer ones often are designed for 60 PSI. It is also possible that your water FILTRATION system is bringing down your water pressure down. Why not remove the filter cartridge and give it a try and I bet you'll have a lot more pressure. May just need to purchase a higher volume filter.
